Ingredient callouts

Adenosine 0.15% - 0.25%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
Humectants (betaine 0.15% - 0.25%, imperata cylindrica root extract 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.65% and glycerin 3.60% - 4.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Replenishes moisture + plumps skin.

Source: Farmacybeauty

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: betaine, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: limnanthes alba seed oil, diheptyl succinate.

hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

betaine 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture

hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. A version of it is naturally present in skin

Anti-aging

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

adenosine 0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

limnanthes alba seed oil 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (imperata cylindrica root extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

imperata cylindrica root extract 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plat extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin and attract water to its upper layer

propolis extract 0.75% - 1.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A complex substance produced by honey bees. Can have anti-bacterial and some anti-oxidant effect. Is an allergen and can be irritating

scutellaria baicalensis root extract 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties
